Okay so Otomate decided Radiant Tale needed a FD and since I sort of liked the game

and they added a Liyan route I decided to get it! also it seems like Raditale FD releases

really close to Virche's FD, not even a week apart! 😱😱😱 I didn't realize this

till I was in the middle of Vilio's after and was like no rush right?! 😅

Good thing is this game wasn't that long... phew.

 

Pro's

- Enjoyable FD to compliment the original game!

- Gorgeous art and fitting music.

 

Con's

- After stories have choices but they don't actually matter.

 

 

As this is a fandisc it will have after stories for the main guys and 2 new routes for Liyan and Jinnia

which take place after the common route normal ending of the original Radiant Tale.

After and IF stories are roughly 3-4 hours in length, which honestly was enough as it never

did drag on long enough to overstay its welcome and most of them remained short&sweet.

I did set a good pace for myself and got through an after in a day so I spend

a good week on this which is pretty good value if you ask me but it all depends

how much time you have to want to set aside to sit back and read a little.

 

System is pretty standard as per usual, however I didn't understand why there were choices

in the after stories, said choices seemed to be there for the sake of it. Like congratulation Ion

or telling Ion that he was cool. I'm like... why bother at this point? there's no need for choices

if the outcome doesn't change or there is no dictionary or different scene to collect.

There being choices made much more sense in the new routes...

since there are normal ends but those give no CG.

Art is as gorgeous as ever and Usaba Kagerou and Miko have returned to grace us with more of

their insanely pretty art! Music is fitting enough and I did not have any complaints.

Honestly with most of the after stories I was pretty satisfied and I even ended up

liking certain characters more than I did in the original game which was really nice.

The after stories also further went into matters so yes if you loved the world view and lore

you'll be in for a treat for sure. So I can definitely recommend Radiant Tale to fans of the original

who can't get enough of it! The new routes may depend on tastes of who you were more

interested in. Its good they got routes because I sure was thirsting after one of them back then.

 

However I do think the afters could be either a hit or a miss... in my opinion it felt that

some of them didn't really had a good enough plot, I liked Ion,Zafora and Radie's...

but I had some issues with Paschalia and Vilio's afters and didn't enjoy them as much.

Both IF stories with Jinnia and Liyan were very enjoyable to me so there's that!

Anyway that is just my two cents and I still recommend Raditale FD if you really liked the original

since this is an amazing FD to compliment a good otome game!

9/10

For play order I mostly followed the same order I did in the original with the new routes last!

since this is a fd the order doesn't even matter I just decided this for myself

you could only do your fav's and skip any you don't like too...

Ion > Paschalia > Zafora > Radie > Vilio > Jinnia > Liyan.

 

The non-spoiler babbles end here and from here on i'll be writing about the afters etc!

and sharing my favourite cg's. So be warned there will be spoilers after the jump.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ion.

CV: Azakami Youhei.

 Ion well... I think he's a sweetheart but his route was a bit too edgy for my taste

so I never really liked him as much of the others but he is still a cool guy with a good heart.

There was some light drama about getting married and Ion touched upon the subject in

such a deadpan way and didn't even read the room, bad timing etc so Jinnia got really upset

that he doesn't understand a girl's heart at all and should be more delicate.😂😂😂

The other is basically about Feltz, Luna and Tifalia are besties now, there's plans to reopen

the colosseum however some people miss the Feltz of old, violence and all... its quite a dilemma

Ion is of course against some things but is willing to make a path to the future.

 Jinnia helps them out in a very Jinnia-like way, they end up holding a mock battle

where Ion faces off against Alest. The crowd loves it while it has none of what

the colosseum was known for in the past... Tifalia did get a little worried for Ion

but Jinnia really knew what he was doing and how to call it a day.

At night they finally end up having a talk and Ion proposes, taking Jinnia's advice to heart.

In the epilogue Tifalia and Ion have their wedding in the colosseum...

Ion mentioned he is a little worried for when Avi comes out of jail but they'll

cross that bridge when it comes to it. Can't help but feel this last bit should've been

mentioned in a scene before the wedding or something cuz it almost ruined the mood.

Hmm I thought it was really sweet how they both supported each other and made me

like them more as a couple and it also wraps up some lingering plot threads.

My favorite part of the route was Tifalia trying to connect more with Ion

and him getting past some stuff while being more considerate

and of course how Jinnia was such a wingman.

~

Paschalia.

CV: Umahara Yuuichiro.

 Paschalia was one of my favorite routes in the original, mostly cuz I really

liked how fantasy oriented it was and well it had many great moments

of which both the heroine and him shined, he wasn't always at his best but that didn't

stop me from liking him! In the after story they're already married... due to that whole

ordeal and everyone just wanting it to happen anyways. Most of it is basically

them now being a couple with lots of sweet moments of what you expect from a fd.

I liked the scene were Paschalia liked some cream off Tifa's face... who didn't notice.😅

There were some slight serious moments mostly whenever the past was brought up

but it was still enjoyable. Its just that... it felt pretty standard to me.

They ended up asking the spirit at oriens for advice for something for Corvus.

The lacrima earring gets brought up but Paschalia doesn't want to accept it since he thinks 

he is unworthy but Reive says otherwise and tells him to accept it as he and Tifalia

showed them enough. Reive says its fine... and they can come back anytime

some other trouble gets brought up so they work to try and solve that.

They traveled to his hometown and had a heart to heart... at this point

there's no doubt that they really love each other and they work through things together.

Paschalia realizes he isn't alone and has his friends so he thinks he can take it now.

Turns out Reive was just testing them and when she sees their determination

she hands over the thing. Oh well, I sleep. It was funny Liyan tried to randomly

flirt with Tifalia, till he got splashed by water! hahah wait for your turn!😂

In the end with Corvus they form a new contract by using the lacrima for the sake

of the spirits and everyone else, all's well that ends well since it solved whatever problem there was.

Someone tries to interview the two famous lovers but Paschalia grabs Tifalia and makes a run for it

since he saw she was definitely not up for that!and they end up hiding in the water

leading to a bittersweet scene very remiscent of the original route.

 Paschalia just swears his undying love and even if they part he'll just finds her again

if they ever have to part since the two earrings always lead their owners back to each other.

Elsewhere Reive wants Vita to take her place as she

has ruled over oriens long enough and is willing to pass on the torch.

In the epilogue the two reunite but I don't remember how much time has passed

but it didn't feel like it was too long, the earrings sure work like a charm huh?

What I liked about this after was them getting more time together to sort through their feelings!

with the way the route original resolved was... a bit rushing into things.

I liked their moments together but... didn't find the overall plot to be as interesting as Ion

and Reive was basically just testing them one more time. Honestly most of this after

made me doze off and there were only really a handful of moments that I liked or stood out.😩

I did like the ending to it all and as per usual the cg's were very beautiful so there's that.

Sadly after finishing this I made the painful realization that in other routes Paschalia

may not have ended up so well... which kind of makes his own route even more bittersweet.

Sadly the plot felt like it was too much of a repeat of the original that I can't help

but feel disappointed overall.

Zafora.

CV: Enoki Yunya.

  Zafora... I remember he left a terrible first impression on me which sort of got better

and the romance was pretty good, however at the end of the day his route didn't really do it for me.

The only things I remember was that the romance was bittersweet and that there was a stereotypical

anime-like villain BALDO who threw a tornado at the gang when they got too much in the way

of his plans in which he kidnapped and misused the spirit of wind and set up the townsfolk

against eachother. Anyway he was defeated and Zafora ended up taking care of matters

for the town and cleaning up the mess Baldo created. In the after, Zafora is as busy as ever

but Tifalia is right at his side supporting him... most of it was pretty relaxing, Jinnia tried

 to give Tifalia some pointers for romance like the wingman he is. Plot centered around some weird guys, early on our couple bumped into one of them and they dropped some letter into their pockets which was suspicious, tho Zafora was like just throw it away. Later on Tifalia got harrassed

and she almost got kidnapped if not for Vilio butting in. Zafora realized something was up

and probably was the one who called our dragon boi via that water mirror thingy.

Besides that it seems Zafora still didn't want to fully involve Tifalia with everything

but they eventually get through to him... seems like he still had trust issues

even tho he already accepted that he ain't all alone in all this. Zafora is so stubborn too.

Anyway they end up investigating the guys responsible for incidents in the town...

Tifalia and Zafora may not always see eye to eye but they manage, in terms of romance

it was sweet however I find Tifalia to be a little flighty/shy but at the same time

she could show courage in different situations...😂 Also this time Liyan was the wingman

and not Jinnia as he really helped Zafora realize he shouldn't push Tifalia away.

The mysterious guy wants a meeting, though they think it could be a trap as its at a casino

but Tifalia goes anyway the others stay in the shadows for if they try anything funny.

Zafora shows up when the guy took the bait and flips the tables or so to speak.

Turns out these guys thought Zafora was an enemy since he took Baldo's place

and they even thought Tifalia was like a witch when she is just a normal girl...

wow presumptious much?! anyway Zafora's poker face is strong and wipes the floor with him.

Alest backs them up and rounds up other members of the dude's group.

After all is over they end up visiting Zafora's family grave by hitching a ride on dragon back

and he pays his respects now that he has formally inherited their line

and also formally asks her to marry him. In the epilogue they all come back together

to hold another performance which ended up being their wedding.

Hmm... I actually really liked Zafora's after? it had its up and downs but it was a solid

conclusion to the original route. The plot was about as engaging as Ion too

and it didn't make me doze off like in Paschalia's. Still while I like them as a couple

Zafora did not quite end up being my favorite.

~

Radie.

CV: Okamoto Nobuhiko.

 

Radie... oh boy, I liked him as a support more than as a love interest and

 while his route was interesting in terms of story, the romance really dragged and ended up

being kinda boring. Sigh on one hand he's an amazing guy... except in terms of romance.

So I hoped that this fd kinda would fix the issues I had with him in the original...

and well Radie is pretty smooth, he straight up asks Tifalia is she wants to marrry him

and then they kind of did?! and everyone came to visit... this is too good to be true isn't it?

Okay after story is over! they got hitched time to go to the next------ is what i'd like to say

as it seems it was all a dream as Tifalia ended up waking up... huh weird way to start but ok.

While it is definitely obvious Radie has changed and is no longer like omg I can't possible lover her

since he was like a caretaker, there was not much to it and the majority of he route

had not much going on. Radie seemed to suggest traveling at some point...

I don't remember much else really other than Liyan once again hitting on Tifalia

who then got called big baka by Radie. Sigh! wait for your route will ya?!

Also the funniest scene was Tifalia cuddling Radie in his carbuncle form...

 only for him to retaliate a little later on.

I remember half of it was Tifalia wanting Radie to propose to her and get married

but of course Radie didn't do that, the other half was trying to revive the

circus with new performers such as Flora and Luna, they considered Liyan but apparently they

already tried way back and there was a big drama??? so he was out of the question.

The takeaway from this route was basically there's more to just getting married and it was

just one of Tifalia's dreams, she found another one! to dedicate herself to the future of the circus.

Of course Radie supports Tifalia whatever it is she wants to do and really wants to see her happy.

The performance ended up being bout Radie and how he came to be...

In the epilogue: Tifalia is about to go out and travel again, with Radie of course

because he will be with her always like the loyal carbuncle that he is.

I think I like this route more when I think about the fact that you can have more than one dream

and marriage isn't everything in life and it makes the after much more enjoyable to me.

Still it is great that in the end he has Tifalia's back and he loves and supports her.

I think I am glad that this route isn't longer than needed, since half of it is a bit of a sleeper

or better put a slow burn with really good pay off and I guess I can actually accept

Radie as a love interest now instead of a support too but honestly the route started out

kind of in a dumb way and even after it is over I have a hard time taking that seriously.

 ~

Vilio.

CV: Uchida Yuma.

 Vilio... had the misfortune of having a lacklustre first half of a route in the original

since it wanted to be a true end and thus implement elements from all routes

into his own which ended up boring me for the most part till the story picked up the pace

and it finally focused more on Vilio's problem... I do say that him and Tifallia make a cute couple

but yea... I think the first half ended up dragging on too much. Needless to say

I looked forward to see many more cute moments with them! sadly it mostly focused

on plot threads left from the original route but some moments were still super sweet

and they fit them in pretty well with the more serious stuff .

I thought it was funny Tifalia tried to practice her new magic powers with Vita, Pasch's spirit

and let her magic run amock but other than that I almost dozed off. Tifalia really wants to help

Vilio with his mission which isn't all sunshine and rainbows and together they can do it.

The performance ended up about the performers themselves... we basically get

a mini radiant tale as a circus act of how they found hope for the future.

Tifalia ends up moving in with Vilio in the dragon village and they make out

after telling the elder about their final performance.

  Uh yea... about Vilio's after, man was that a drag and the cute scenes here and there

barely saved it, it wasn't exactly fun cuz it was so dreary and depressing

they couldn't do much with the plot either and I kind of found it weak

and the writer grasping for straws here and there. Its obvious they couldn't

do too much with the scenario anymore. I also remembered too late that Tifalia

isn't fully human anymore due to gaining magic from Vilio in the original...

so everyone else will probably die but... well the future will remain since they protected it.

~

Aww yisss its time for the new routes, baby!

Tifalia fluked her chances with the original guys but there is still hope

these two take place after the first games normal end...

There's also a mini end with Alest and Corvus if you don't choose Jinnia or Liyan

but they're really short and there's not much to them.

Jinnia.

CV: Kondo Takashi.

 Honestly I wasn't really interested in Jinnia in compared to Liyan...

he may not really be for me but I checked out his route anyways! 

Turns out its good that I did cuz damn, he's worth and he knows it.

I loved many of the scenes early on including Tifalia walking in on him after he took a shower

leading to her having to take a raincheck cuz who disss? Tifalia is too adorable Jinnia could eat her.

Speaking of eating, Depression hits Tifalia AGAIN leading her to become a cookie monster of her

own baked cookies...  and well it seems to delicious he can't help himself either, so it turned into

i'm going to takethis cookie and eat it too while Tifalia just looks at him like what?!😂😂😂😂😂

 Jinnia knew something was up and that Tifalia is in love and well she did kinda crush on him

back then. Sadly Jinnia doesn't see himself worthy of her so he hopes she finds someone.

Everyone else end up showing up at the inn... what great timing! she asks them about Jinnia

and Zafora basically chews her out like why would you even bother with that stupid idiot?

I swear there should be a language warning because Zafora was quite vile compared to Ion

the guys end up having a drinking contest cuz Radie challenged them. Ion ends up

cheering Tifalia on like the only sane person in the room. Tifalia runs into Vilio and Pasch

another day... so she is happy to see them again and also helps them perform a sneak attack on Jinnia.

Later Tifalia ends up giving Alest some cookies but Jinnia noticed and asks if she also has his share...

 after Tifalia runs off Alest ends up giving it to Jinnia anyway cuz he can read him like a book.😂

Tifalia tries to follow the other guy's advice... but not before Liyan has another shot

at trying to woo her, unfortunately for him Tifalia was not amused and chews him out like a cat.

In a suprise twist of events Jinnia ends up helping her out with makeup and they bond a little

sadly after he went back home it seems like he wants to end it which I presumed meant

the extended contract he had her sign at the end of the normal ending in the original

since its because of that she is even still working with him in the first place.

Jinnia tells her he has taken a liking to her but wants her to enjoy herself a little more and leaves...

only for Corvus and Alest to find Tifalia crying and confused over Jinnia's poor wording.

Corvus let's her go and Jinnia ends up calling himself a fool, he goes back and finds

too men glaring at him who point out Tifalia was crying and went back to her room.

They basically tell Jinnia to stop being a insensitive dick. Alest tries to reason with Jinnia who

for some reason is against becoming any closer to her. Jinnia eventually gives in after

being lectured by our legendary chad Alest. Jinnia rushes after Tifalia

and he eventually catches up, he wonders if she used wind magic or something

cuz they ran quite a fair bit. Anyway they have a heart to heart and make up!

and confess how they feel which was really cute. In the epilogue Jinnia introduces

her to his family who can't believe Jinnia has a girlfriend now since he always

told them he's not interested in women lalala~~ but I guess he just didn't want

to end up having to commit to an arranged marriage since he's like nobility.😅

Shenanigans also ensue later that evening in a very Jinnia-like way.

I enjoyed Jinnia's route mostly cuz it was light and fun, sadly it was kinda short

and it was really obvious they didn't have a lot of material to work with

since there was not much of a plot, just a chance for Tifalia to end up with Jinnia

while giving him some more substance  which is more than enough. I like how it kept itself

to the point without it dragging out or becoming too depressing like Vilio's after.

Anyways Jinnia's after was pretty enjoyable and this is coming from someone that did not

care much for him in the original. I do want to admit that Jinnia can seem kind of like a dick

especially at the end if it wasn't for Alest and Corvus there'd probably be no happy end, due to that

I still think Jinnia is better as a supportive character despite the mostly fun route. :/

Also I don't want to go here but Jinnia not being interested in women and then kinda going

hmmm maybe? affter messing with Tifalia is a bit eh to me especially since Jinnia

can seem gay only to be straight/bi all along... but I guess otomate likes to clown around!

~

Liyan.

CV: Watanabe Hiroshi.

Oh man... I have been thirsting after Liyan ever since the original game

and here we are! he got his own route!!! but was it worth it... we'll see!

The route starts with Tifalia walking in on him and another girl.... wow no surprise there

and then goes into hiding while overhearing something that he is a daddy with kids.😮

As well as being roasted for being a flirt which is also no surprise at this point.

LMAO what?! idk but my reactions were almost the same as Tifalia being extremely confused

like what does Liyan have a harem or something???😂😂😂 naturally Tifalia wants answers

so she goes up to him... turns out Liyan has this place where spirit beasts

who can't return to their home country can stay and he's sorta everyones daddy.

Liyan says the daddy part is actually embarrassing and its unfortunate she overheard.

Tifalia gets to see his hospitality first hand as some spirit beast bumps into him so he nudges it to

his restaurant. Liyan starts being a bit too flirty so Tifalia got angry and pinched his cheek.😂😂😂

 Later some weird white haired guy bumps into them who apparently is like Liyan's nemesis

and his name is Lizz but I can't help but call him Risotto cuz its written as Rist. Tifallia is invited

by Liyan to his inn/restaurant and he's sort of overjoyed the day has come.

Turns out Tifalia wasn't the only girl he flirted with...😡😡😡 but that doesn't stop him

from treating Tifalia to some nice cake! Liyan sure knows how to treat a woman well huh?

 On her way back home Risotto starts spouting nonsense about imminent dread and misfortune

and Tifalia begins to feel uneasy. Some day later Risotto pays her a visit... and he explains

that Liyan is his younger brother and Liyan has told him about her. Risotto starts spouting

nonsense again and takes his leave, Tifallia ends up confused as per usual

Liyan ends up noticing this so he ends up explaining the deal with the people of fenrir

which is also their homeland before they settled in escholtia. Because of a lot of

stuff happening they ended building the inn but Risotto fell in love with a human... but the thing is

the people of fenrir were half-lings and when she found out she called him a monster.

Risotto was really hurt by those words and hasn't quite gotten over what happened 10 years ago...

Liyan never even expected to run into his brother again but here he is!

Anyways Liyan realizes he's been talking for too long and has errands to run... on the way

he really thinks he should settle things with his bro and have a nice long talk with him.

Risotto just wants to warn Liyan cuz the poor boi's never been in love which he thinks

is a double edged sword for the people of fenrir. Risotto also tries to involve Tifalia who

happened to nearby  but Liyan doesn't like that and gets really angry at the attempt.

 Risotto left for now... but it seems he's not convinced his brother gets the point

and while he means well all he does right now is look like a villain to Liyan.

Also as it turns out Liyan and Tifalia met when she was younger, he saw her gift

at blooming flowers first hand and he couldn't help but want her to herself but Radie was like

lol nope get away from my daugher! and ran away with her. Liyan really treasures that memory.

Tifalia was too young to remember that probably cuz Radie messed with her memor

 due to her parents. Liyan believes she saved him back then when he first arrived in Escholtia

and how he got to be working so hard for a place spirits beasts can safely stay.

Some time later Tifalia asks Radie and Pasch for advice when they came to visit

and they kind of cheered her on to go talk with Liyan and get to hear how he really

feels about her too. Tifalia has definitely been crushing on him.

Radie says she can even hit Liyan if needed... Tifalia decided to keep it civil though

sadly she ended up falling asleep after he offered her a cup of tea. Liyan tried

to wake her up in a very Liyan-like way. Tifalia ended up closing her eyes again...

making Liyan act like he's the big bad wolf waiting to have a snacc.

Its like the devil is tempting Liyan and it made it even more hilarious.

 Liyan knows how to contain himself and ends up preparing a bed for her to sleep in if needed

but Tifalia ended up running out as he offered... she was really embarrassed about it.

Risotto ends up kidnapping Tifalia later saying its for the good of his little brother...

Liyan ends up being told that Risotto kidnapped Tifalia. Liyan blames himself for letting his guard down and not expecting this. Vilio and Ion who ran into him and want to help him out

but ends up being told that this is Liyan's problem and they can't do much.

Tifalia tries to make Risotto realize he's mistaken but it only makes him angry...

Liyan ends up arriving just in time and they fight it out in their true forms...

the people of fenrir share both human and wolf forms and can change between them.

Tifalia ends up hurt during the fighting and Liyan loses it and ends up wounding him

while Risotto already switched back to his human form. Turns out Risotto was just

worried Liyan would lose control one day and orchestrated this... to stop Liyan from ending up

in his position. Risotto ends up leaving them calling them foolish. Liyan says its all good

now and just to leave him alone. Though Liyan is a bit... exhausted but not tired enough

to tell her how happy he is when he's with her but would be find to go back to how it was...

Tifalia's like is that really want you want? and finally confesses her own feelings.

Tifalia just ends up kissing this stuttering and flustered man who can't believe he just had his first kiss.

😂😂😂

 Liyan is happy but... words can not express how he feels right now, so one more?

In the epilogue: Vilio and Ion forgive Liyan for rushing off since they look so happy now.

Risotto ends up paying Liyan a surprise visit like some freeloader... also its all good now

he won't be causing anymore trouble! Liyan is just annoyed he is even here at all.

Risotto goes off on his own journey and Liyan said he'll watch over him

Tifalia hopes he too can be happy... Liyan ends up being a little clingy

but he is happy, so happy he could die.😅

 Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaa what a tremendously enjoyable route! couldn't be happier as a Liyan fan!

I don't have any complaints at all. They fleshed out Liyan a little more while giving

him too a happy end, what more could you want? maybe a wedding end? but I guess

I can do without one, since marriage isn't everything either. I'm sad its over

and I am sad there probably won't be anymore Raditale.

Also I just realized how much more I wrote of Liyan than Jinnia... so either

the writer put more effort into the plot here or I am just biased. Perhaps both?

~

 

Alest:

 Alest has a mini end too! he wants to do one more performance but then suddenly can't contain

his feelings any more and just randomly blurts out stuff like some nerd.😅😅😅 

Tifalia wonders what it was all about but begins preparations for the circus show

everyone gathers once more, even Corvus. After it is over she runs into Alest again...

things get awkward and then he randomly asks her to stop working for Jinnia and join him instead.

Truth be told, Alest could really use an assistant... so he will clearly tell Jinnia that he'll have her.😊

Of course its not that simple and Tifalia can't just do that...

Alest has something nice to show her and the fireworks go off and a flower

starts blooming too and he thanks her since it resembles the flowers in the sky.

Idk this made me just want a full route with him like Jinnia or Liyan...

~

 

Corvus:

 Corvus asks Tifa to help him out a little more with his magic since he hasn't been able

to train much lately. Tifalia suggests to have another performance and he'd like

to join in too since he might be able to use magic again and he liked the feeling

he got when watching it so now he wants to give such a feeling to the audience.

During practive he manages to do just fine thanks to her help.

After the show which went fine he thanks her and the troupe and Tifalia let's

him rest on her lap and then he suddenly something weird happens and for a split second

regains his regains his original form says he'd like to become a man to stand next to her some day.

This was nothing conclusive and too open ended, I guess for this to happen

Corvus still needs to train a lot more than that since we can't do the Vilio route way.

~

Favorite after/route:

Liyan > Alest > Jinnia > Ion > Zafora > Corvus > Radie > Paschalia > Vilio.

I did not enjoy Vilio's after, but it had some nice moments part of it was depressing

so it ends up last on my list!

Favorite character:

Liyan > Ion > Paschalia > Zafora > Radie > Alest > Jinnia > Vilio.

I think its really obvious i'm a Liyan simp..... (always has been momento)

Final Thoughts!

 Well this FD was pretty enjoyable, I did enjoy the new routes more than the afters for some reason

mostly cuz they were fun and something of what I expect in a FD.  I am extra-happy

that Liyan had such a well written and fun route that actually fits into the story well.😄

Its nice Alest and Corvus got mini ends as well, just it was lacking a real conclusion

but it was better than nothing. The fulcomp cg's were really nice this time too and they were

part of a special epilogue credit and dialogue asking the player if they enjoyed themselves

which was a nice touch and shows appreciation for trying to enjoy everything.

 Perhaps it is also because I didn't really like most of the original cast which makes a lot of sense.

Idk the interactions Tifalia had with Jinnia and Liyan were also more enjoyable to me

and I didn't particularly enjoy seeing Tifalia be so flighty with certain love interests in the afters

when they were already in a relationship.😑 Or the fact Vilio's after was rather depressing...

like wtf this is a FD?! do better otomate. So I think the afters were either a hit or a miss

since I did enjoy Ion's and to some extent Zafora. I did not like Radie's after that much

but I liked the takeaway the story had so it wasn't all bad.

Like I said in the non-spoiler section, only downside is afters/if route are short

3/4 hours each (depending on reading speed, i'm pretty slow mind you).

I am glad it didn't overstay its welcome cuz if some afters were any longer i'd get bored.

I will give it a 9/10 simply cuz of the enjoyable and fun new routes and most of the afters

were decent. I don't think Raditale fans will be too disappointed with this addition

even if it could be better and it should have been.

 I think most people know what to expect from fandisc's now and if they didn't like

the original or wanted a route with a side character that got one then you shouldn't get it.

What's next... Virche FD! I actually don't have any expectations for it but I hope its nice?

or is that asking too much. There's not much games I plan to buy, I am still debating

between Ys X and Fate/Samurai remnant which release at the end of this month.

 

Edit: 31-3-24 Someone wanted to know who Risotto(Lisot) looked like so here you go!
